Ye Lingling's Plan, Heading to Shrek Academy

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Lingling, did you see that? Luo Ye said he has a way to remove the toxins from my body, and he can even elevate my martial soul!"

"Since immortal herbs can evolve Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, they can definitely evolve my Jade Phosphorous Serpent into an even stronger martial soul!"

The excited Dugu Yan paced back and forth, her face filled with wild joy.

Seeing this, Ye Lingling helplessly rubbed her brow and spoke to soothe her.

"Calm down, Yanyan. Even without the immortal herbs Luo Ye mentioned, there are items in the points store that can remove the toxins in your body."

Dugu Yan shook her head.

"No, you don't understand, Lingling. I don't want to get immortal herbs from Luo Ye for myself. I want to give them to my grandfather."

"Grandfather needs something like this more than I do. I still have plenty of time and can slowly wait until I've saved enough points, but the toxins in Grandfather's body must be far more severe than mine."

Ye Lingling froze for a moment, then understood why Dugu Yan was so worked up.

Just as Dugu Yan had said, Dugu Bo had cultivated for so many years as a Titled Douluo that the toxins in his body had likely taken root long ago. It would not be an exaggeration to say he was already gravely ill.

If they could not find a way to remove the toxins from his body, no one could guarantee how much longer he could hold on.

Previously, Dugu Yan had desperately wanted to earn more points and buy toxin-removing pills from the store. But those pills were expensive, and they could not guarantee a steady supply of points every day. It was practically a distant dream.

Now that she had learned Luo Ye knew where to find immortal herbs, it was no wonder Dugu Yan was acting so excitedly.

However.

Ye Lingling blinked and said,

"Luo Ye also said that there are only so many immortal herbs to go around. Even if he gets them, he'll most likely distribute them according to the closeness of his relationships."

"But we only had ties with Luo Ye in our past lives. If not for the Diary Instance in this life, we wouldn't even know him. So those immortal herbs probably have nothing to do with us."

Dugu Yan was hardly the only one who wanted immortal herbs.

Never mind how the other Diary Instance holders would react after seeing this content.

Even Ye Lingling herself wanted them after learning of their effects.

After all, although the Nine Heart Begonia was said to be an even more powerful support-type martial soul than the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, its restrictions were also greater.

Across the entire Douluo Continent, only two possessors of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul could exist at the same time. Only after one of them died could the next one appear.

Just as Ning Rongrong wanted to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ye Lingling also wanted to change this restriction of the Nine Heart Begonia.

But she knew exactly how difficult that would be, so she did not hold out much hope. Instead, she placed her hopes on the items in the points store.

Unlike Ye Lingling, who had resigned herself to reality, Dugu Yan was desperate to remove the toxins from Dugu Bo's body. She was not swayed by those words and instead said in a low voice,

"Lingling, what do you think about going to Shrek Academy to find Luo Ye right now?"

Ye Lingling was startled when she heard that and hurriedly stopped her.

"Absolutely not!"

"Don't forget the diary's rules. If you expose the existence of the diary in front of Luo Ye, you could very well be erased on the spot!"

They had already tried it before. The moment they wanted to tell outsiders about the diary's existence, they instantly felt the aura of death. Had they not promptly abandoned that thought, they would certainly have died on the spot.

The diary's rules stated it clearly: Luo Ye absolutely could not discover it, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Lingling understood Dugu Yan's desperation, but to keep her from doing something so dangerous, she thought for a moment before saying,

"Don't rush, Yanyan. Didn't Teacher Qin Ming say before that he graduated from Shrek Academy? We can show curiosity about Shrek Academy in front of him and let him take the initiative to suggest bringing us there."

"That way, not only can we avoid exposing ourselves, we can also meet Luo Ye naturally."

"And if possible, we can even invite Luo Ye directly to Heaven Dou Royal Academy then. Not only would we be able to receive points steadily every day, we could also grow closer to him."

Given Ye Lingling's cool and taciturn personality, it was rare for her to say so much at once. To keep Dugu Yan from being erased, she had truly worried herself sick.

After hearing her plan, Dugu Yan calmed down as well. She felt Ye Lingling's words made perfect sense and said with a delighted expression,

"Lingling, you're so smart. It's wonderful to have you!"

As she spoke, she threw herself into Ye Lingling's arms and vigorously rubbed her head against Ye Lingling's chest.

Ye Lingling shoved her away with a look of disgust and said irritably,

"Enough. You can calm down now, right?"

Dugu Yan nodded vigorously.

"We'll do as you said. I'll find an opportunity to bring up Shrek Academy in front of Qin Ming."

"Just like Luo Ye said, those people at Shrek Academy have always been trying every possible way to suppress and brainwash their students. Teacher Qin Ming graduated so many years ago, yet every time he mentions Shrek Academy, he becomes incredibly fanatical."

"As long as we show curiosity about Shrek Academy, he'll definitely take the initiative to bring us there for a look."

Extreme North.

"Immortal herbs? Snow Empress, if the immortal herbs are distributed according to the closeness of one's relationship with him, do you think we have a chance of getting any?"

Ice Empress blinked her emerald-green eyes and asked Snow Empress beside her.

Snow Empress seemed somewhat taken aback by the question, then said with a helpless laugh,

"What are you thinking? If they're being distributed according to closeness of relationship, how could we possibly get any immortal herbs?"

Ice Empress did not think there was anything wrong with her reasoning and said righteously,

"Luo Ye himself wrote in the diary that the two of us were friends who could fight shoulder to shoulder with him in our past lives. Isn't that close enough?"

Snow Empress rolled her eyes, feeling rather helpless.

Strictly speaking, friends and companions who fought side by side were indeed close. But there were people even more intimate with Luo Ye than they were.

Never mind those humans. Just a certain Co-lord of Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King, who did not wish to be named, had a relationship with Luo Ye far beyond the two of them.

After all, Luo Ye had written in the diary that the Silver Dragon King of his past life had been utterly devoted to him and had even sacrificed herself to save him.

Especially since the Silver Dragon King's injuries had yet to recover. If Luo Ye obtained immortal herbs, would he not give her one?

And then there were Luo Ye's women and confidantes. Their chances of receiving immortal herbs were obviously much greater than those of the two of them, weren't they?
